An integral part of Slovenia’s presence at the Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang will once again be the Slovenia House, after a hiatus of eight years. Alongside the outstanding results of Slovenia’s sports men and women, who now traditionally return from the largest tournaments with medals, a broader representation is also important for promoting the country. The Slovenia House is therefore a meeting place for athletes, the main representatives of different sports, Olympic committees, business people and of course random visitors who thereby have the chance to get to know Slovenia.

The project has drawn the participation of the company Kolektor and the Slovenian state as the main partners (SPIRIT, Slovenian Tourist Board, Government Communication Office and the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology), while partnerships have also been successfully concluded with some other prominent Slovenian companies, such as ELAN, Alpina, Hosekra and Jezeršek Catering. Foreign partners of the House participating in the project are Panasonic, which is providing screens, and Coca-Cola, which has contributed all the non-alcoholic beverages on offer at the site. The national broadcasting corporation RTV Slovenija also has its own Olympics studio in the Slovenia House.
